I agree with the initial reporter that it is unclear what the "interval fetching" option actually does.

Instead of using a checkbox to select 'interval fetching', Akregator should use radio buttons with either 'interval fetching' or whatever the alternative is. Presumably the alternatives are 1) to check a feed as often as the feed itself specifies, or 2) for the user to check it manually. The alternatives need to be made clear, or else the user will be confused about what choice he or she is making.
If Akregator doesn't end up using a radio button, the alternative is to use a tooltip when the mouse hovers over 'interval fetching,' explaining what the alternative is.
